The following scenarios do not factor in having season tickets for other sports or any existing direct donations to RCAF.
Scenario 1: You sit in red section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $500 in the RCAF champion fund. You now have access to buy a tailgating spot in TG3 or TG4 for $200. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $1,200
Scenario 2: You sit in orange section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $300 in the RCAF champion fund. You now have access to buy a tailgating spot in TG4. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $1,000
Scenario 3: You sit in blue section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $0 in the RCAF champion fund. You have to donate separately to RCAF $250 AND buy a spot at $200. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $950
Hopefully 1. they have a good outbound sales team; 2. single game TG spots are reasonably priced, otherwise we'll probably have another scarce TG scene again.
May sound like pessimism, but I think I'm being a realist.
So where does the $200 per pass come into this? All previous seasons we got two passes included in our TG1 fee, $500 for TG1 spot, and $500 to RCAF required ($1000 total).
Wait they moved my TG3 spot to be single tailgate spot now? Wtf. I absolutely loved my spot, not sure I renew now
Just got off the phone with ticket office and the RCAF.
I will pay a $100 more for my RCAF donation. This will cover both tickets and parking. My tickets will be the same price and parking will be the same price. Just the increase in RCAF.
Spoke to somebody who has an RV tailgating spot. Their cost will actually go down a few dollars.
I just don't get it...we all want change but we all want everything to stay the same.
The University has finally driven my give a sh*# level to zero.
Maybe I should have said "we don't want to be inconvenienced by the change."
We've (temporarily) lost a sizeable chunk of real estate that will be the construction zone.
Looks like they've extended RV tailgating to the east parking lot at the corner of Congress and Cajundome Blvd, which has resulted in Lot E parking being cut by about 1/3.
Looks like they've added some single tailgating at Congress/Bertrand.
From what I'm seeing on Redtails post, prices might actually go down (albeit temporarily) for some folks.
Honestly, I think its kind of a good idea to try to package multiple sports into one RCAF cost. Yes, it does look like it raises the RCAF cost for any one sport, but the addition of multiple sports will be absorbed into that initial cost.
